Starting off with the player that hasn’t played yet but was added for depth and potentially to make Sergei Bobrovsky sweat a little, Keith Kinkaid. Kinkaid was traded for by the Columbus Blue Jackets, seemingly, to make Bobrovsky understand that he isn’t the only goalie on the roster and isn’t the only one who the team can rely on. Since the trade deadline, Bobrovsky is 3-2 with an .916 save percentage. Before tonight’s game against the Penguins, he was 2-3 with an .878 save percentage, and that’s not acceptable from your starting goalie.
In fairness, out of all three of the current goalies that Columbus has on their roster, all three of them have had awful stats in their last five games.
